Briggs/Daihatsu turbo diesel pics
Just took a gander at this scag mower with a 3cyl. Turbo diesel. I've heard that they are unreliable and some people have had no problem at all....I was just interested in the tiny turbo attatched to it!

Re: Briggs/Daihatsu turbo diesel pics
I wonder what size it is? I woulld be leery of anything besides a Kubota or Yanmar though. I have 2 yanmar 600cc 2 cylinder engines sitting in my shop. I thought about throwing one in my pioneer but the engine I have runs just fine and they are a bit tall to try to fit one in there. They sell a small turbo on ebay I thought would go just right on it. Its cheap chinese crap probably but if it lasted 200 hours I would be happy.

Re: Briggs/Daihatsu turbo diesel pics
With the turbos, if you increase cylinder pressures you'll likely cause other engine damage, from head gasket/head damage, pushrods, even rods. The diesels are more durable than a standard gasoline engine, but if they aren't designed for the turbo it won't last. The turbo will likely last longer than the engine.
Now if you use a "turbo" engine....well that's a different story.... |

I was thinking the same thing...they all have their issues but some just stink more than others.
